When the Reichstag was burned Hitler blamed his enemies, primarily the communists for the fire even though many suspect he ordered it himself. When Rome was burned Nero blamed his enemies the Christians for it even though many suspect he may have ordered it himself. It's an interesting comparison because in both cases playing the blame game was an opportunity for Nero and Hitler to expand their power and make a move against their enemies regardless of the true cause of the fire. Also in both cases Nero and Hitler were quick to place blame and made no effort to find out who caused it which only strengthens the assumption that the men in power were the ones who ordered the fires. |

Political consequences of the Fire The day after the fire, Hitler asked for and received from President Hindenburg the Reichstag Fire Decree, signed into law by Hindenburg using Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended most civil liberties in Germany. As a consequence of the Reichstag Fire Decree, the Communist Party of Germany was banned on March 1, 1933 under the grounds that they were preparing a putsch. In the March 5, 1933 Reichstag elections, the Nazis increased their share of the vote to 44 percent, which gave the Nazis and their allies, the German National People's Party, who won 8% of the vote a majority of 52% in the Reichstag. The March elections were a major success for the Nazis, but were not the success they were hoping for. The Nazis had aimed to win about 50%–55% of the vote. The Nazis coerced and bribed the remaining parties, with the exception of the Social Democrats, to give them the two-thirds majority needed to pass the Enabling Act on March 23, which gave them the right to rule by decree. http://www.answers.com/Reichst ag%20Fire%20 |
